Not Pleading Guilty
    Case Number : 35-2021-MM-003308-AXXX-XX
    County : Lake

    When plea negotiations failed with the State, Attorney Leroy Costner set the case for trial. The Client qualified for diversion, but the State would not offer it. As the trial date approached, the State offered diversion, but they were going to require the Client to plea guilty first. This is something that we knew the Client would refuse and countered with the same offer without the admission of guilt. The State refused again. The Friday before trial, the State asked why the client would not admit guilt. Attorney Leroy Costner explained that the Client just graduated from college with a degree in criminal justice. Her employment required her to have a clean criminal history and to have never admitted guilt to a criminal case, even if it was later dismissed. At that point, the State agreed to dismiss the case. Once the case was dropped, the Client was able to secure the new job they had gone to school for. Additionally, Attorney Zahra Umansky expunged Client’s record too, so that she can begin her career with a clean slate.
